ralph nader siphon votes from gore when really gore won i mean and the same with kerry in two thousand for he won it's really an issue of revoting and also media do you still subscribe to the lesser of two evils them. well no i really had enough after a lot of hopes were pinned in obama and i think i mean i'm voting for jill stein and i have been openly supporting the green party candidate and i have always felt that our system is so rigged to that we need to put these third party candidates into the debates we need to get their issues out there we need to have a much broader spectrum of debates than we have with the democrats or republicans and i think this election season is really hit that home when we don't even have a discussion of something like the drone issue during the whole campaign season and if it weren't for hurricane sandy coming out a week before the election we had no talk about climate. we sold here very little of about climate change and i want to play you something that peter joseph just told me the founder of those like i said about about these elections. very littl

nader was a spoiler or that ross perot was a spoiler and i do agree that they fought with trying to triangulation has always been a force of a much different dynamic of conversation than kind of two sides in a back and forth which you know can kind of have a time like i don't talk about climate change you don't talk about on the chance ok we're cool whereas you know the third person can really kind of shake that up i think that it is there is a lot of frustration out there with with parties and with not having the conversation that people want not having an honest dialogue feeling again talking points and. so i think there you know having a kind of an additional person to kind of focus on we're going to throw your support behind in particular in a very very close election this really could get different it could make a difference and it's time for our for your proportional representation it's. your thoughts on this don't believe in wasting your vote i happen to agree that if you always if you feel this way if you don't feel this way that your candidate great but a lot of people are
